it has been beautiful this year
too beautiful not to notice
I sat in the dappled shade of a huge and stately hawthorn
whilst waiting for Youngest
She was beautiful and I was so taken by her blossom
Glad my Celtic tree sign is the Hawthorn
Have a good week

I love hawthorn, I think its scent is divine. Twice just recently I've walked down a narrow path with hawthorn hedges on both sides, it was wonderful. I think an enterprising perfume manufacturer should find a way of reproducing it and bottling it, if it ever were to happen I'd buy gallons of the stuff :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs and nothing like a beautiful hawthorn.

So beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous pictures, I shall have to look to see if I can see one near me.
ReplyDeleteCan you smell it? Someone said you could and I never have. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be an abundance of these beautiful blossoms this year. The breeze has been making it fall like snow here. X
ReplyDeleteI too think the Hawthorn has been wonderful this year; it is sadly beginning to go over but it was good while is lasted.
ReplyDeleteThe fragrance is lovely too, filling the countryside. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely Kate & I too think the flowers are so pretty & also the leaves which have an intricate shape. I do admit to not liking the smell very much & when pruning or cutting the thorns can be quite vicious, but worth having & seeing them in hedgerows & as wind breaks in this part of Victoria. Enjoy Spring & take care. Freezing here today with leaden black skies, rain & only 8 deg in our area at 3pm. Also quite a bit of snow in the Alps & other areas down to 600 mts.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so wonderful this year, you captured some stunning pictures.
ReplyDeleteHawthorn is always beautiful. xx
